Purple clay ore

　　Purple clay ore is a high-quality ceramic material. Teapots fired from purple clay ore mined in Jixian feature an elegant, lustrous appearance, are breathable yet waterproof, and can keep tea fresh inside for several days without turning sour. These teapots have both ornamental and collectible value. The floor tiles made from this ore boast pure colors, clear textures, a smooth but not slippery surface, and are highly durable and wear-resistant, making them premium decorative materials for indoor and outdoor use. Therefore, they can rival the nationally renowned Yixing purple clay pottery and Jingdezhen porcelain. As a result, Jixian has earned the title of “Capital of Purple Clay Pottery” due to its abundant reserves and easy accessibility for mining.
